Last month in February, we had the Panagbenga Festival here in Baguio City. Formerly called Baguio Flower Festival, it is a month-long annual celebration filled with parades, fairs, bazaars, native dancing and various competitions. It attracts thousands of people from all around the world. It was created to tribute the beautiful flowers of the city as well as a way to rise up from the devastation from the 1990 earthquake.Just imagine the Pasadena Rose Parade, the Orange County fair and..hmm... Amercia's Dance Crew all wrapped into one. Ok, maybe not so much of America Dance Crew, but there are different groups of dancers that come out and compete :)
Anyways, panagbenga means "a season of blooming."
Like the flowers that bloom all year round here in Baguio City, I pray we are all blooming everyday...growing, changing, flourishing, and prospering in our Lord Jesus Christ.
